Cal Demolishes No. 8 Washington State 37-3

Well how's that for a turnaround? Six days after an ugly 38-7 loss at Washington, Cal (4-3, 1-3) responded with a dominant 37-3 win over eighth-ranked and previously unbeaten Washington State (6-1, 3-1). It was the Bears' first win over a top ten team since defeating third-ranked USC in 2003.

Cal's defense recorded season-highs with seven forced turnovers and nine sacks. Jordan Kunaszyk led the way with 11 tackles, 2.5 sacks, an interception, and a forced fumble. James Looney, Cameron Goode, and Luc Bequette each added 1.5 sacks, and Camryn Bynum had two interceptions.

The Bears intercepted Washington State quarterback Luke Falk five times - he had only thrown two interceptions all season entering the game. Cal now leads the nation with 20 forced turnovers, two more than they recorded all last season.
